Enjoy Life.

What q truly beautiful world we
live inl Nature gives us grandeur
OF mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.
We can desire no better when in
perfect health; but how often do the
majority Of people feel like giving it
up disheartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there
10 no occasion for this feeling, as
every sufferer can easily obtain sat
isiactory proof that Green's August
Flower, will make them free from
disease as when born. Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint are the direct
causes of seventy-five per cent Of
such maladies as Billiousness, Indi-
gestion, Sick Headache Costiveness,
Nervous Prostitution, Dizziness Of the
head, Palpitation If the Heart, and
other Distressing symptoms. Three
doses Of August Flower will prove
its wonderful effect. Sample bottles

Much has been said Ia nesgspapers
q men who have made large FORUM
= IN comparatively 4 few years in
various business industries. Many
of these articles are written by cor
respondents Of prominent news
papers, and copied in others Of less
note. Correspondents generally are
seldom men Of business qualifica-
lions and wrongfully picture these
men and their business as a thing
accident this is not the case with
those We have met. We find that
where men have made large fortunes
by their own business talent and in
EdustrY they chose with sagacity and
foFethought such business as would
lead TO success when handled with
business judgment. No man has
been brought before the public as an
example Of success, both in wealth
and magnitude Of business (outside
Of stock and railroad men) more
prominently than DR.. G. G. Green
Of Woodbury., N J. He is at the
head Of many large business indust-
ries, and yet comparatively a young
man. When the fact that August
Flower, for dyspepsia and liver COM
plant and Bcschee's german syrup,
for coughs and lung troubles, has
grown to Il wonderful sale in all
parts Of the world, it proves that it
was not an accident or spontaneous
strike at wealth. His medicines are
recognized as valuable and establish
ed remedies and the business has
grown gradually and permanently
during the last eighteen years on
account not only of Dr.. Green's
abilities as a business man or his
good luck, but on the actual merits
Of the two preparations.-C1pie
